China is the first country in the world to drill and utilize natural gas. Ban Gu "Han Shu · Jiao Si Zhi" said that Han Xuan Emperor "the temple Tianfengyuan fire well is at Hongmen."
And "Geography" also said that Hongmen County, Xihe County: "There is Tianfengyuan, Huojing Temple, fire comes from the ground." Hongmen County, Xihe County, was ruled in the southwest of Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province.
It can be seen that natural gas has already been discovered in the Western Han Dynasty. However, the establishment of the Huojing Temple shows that it was difficult for people to explain this natural phenomenon and worship it as a god.
arrived at Eastern Han Dynasty . Wells in Shuzhong were cooked as salt, and natural gas was not used at the beginning.
Actually, there were many salt wells in Shuzhong at that time, and Lingjing in Renshou County was the largest. According to Li Jifu's " Yuanhe County Pictorial Records ", Lingjing: "The vertical width is thirty meters, and the depth is more than eighty meters." The origin of "Lingjing" is named after Peiguo Zhang Daoling (grandfather of Zhang Lu ).
Youle History " Taiping Huanyu Ji" contains: "If you fall into a well with fire, that is, thunder roars and boils, smoke rises, splashes with mud and boulders, it is terrible."
This kind of gas is just that. What we usually call natural gas was not really used at that time.
Soon, the people of Lindeng County began to use the fire well to cook salt.
Zhang Hua " Museum of History " contains: "Linye has a fire well more than 60 feet deep, and the fire is up.People use a tube to hold fire and travel for more than a hundred miles, and it is still flammable. "Lin Ye, now Ye Gorge, Sichuan.
It can be seen that people had already cooked salt with natural gas at that time. In the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were not only used to fire wells, but also used them further. In the Sui Dynasty, the government was still there. "Huojing County" was established here.
In the Song Dynasty, China began to use natural gas on a large scale and invented the method of drilling small deep wells. Ming Dynasty Song Yingxing " Tiangong Kaiwu" detailed records of salt cooking in fire wells
The drilling depth of the borehole in the Qing Dynasty has reached about one thousand meters, and a fire well can cook 700 pots of salt. During the period of
, the working people of our country pioneered a series of advanced drilling technologies, such as small deep well drilling method and casing. Cementing method, pipe construction method, gas testing method, etc. In Europe, the United Kingdom did not use natural gas until the 17th century, more than a thousand years later than China.
At that time, Shanghai Concession was the earliest gas company established in China. According to the "Shanghai Public Utilities Journal", in the tenth and December of Qing Xianfeng, many British businessmen living in Shanghai Concession proposed to produce and supply gas in Shanghai.
In the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1865), China's first gas plant was established, using the new technology of British gas lighting to provide lighting for the Shanghai concession.
With the continuous advancement of science, power companies appeared. Although "gas" In order to protect their own interests, the “factory” began to participate in competition through price reductions and other methods. However, with the rapid development of lighting and generators, it was difficult for gas lamps to withstand the “violent attack” of electric lights. In the end, almost all users used electricity.
Of course, gas plants do not. It will fall down, but will quickly adjust the direction of development and use gas mainly for cooking. Soon, batches of newly built apartments and houses in lanes are installed with gas, and the gas business has grown steadily year by year. Gas has entered a new period of development.
entered the period of reform and opening up,China built the first long-distance natural gas pipeline in 1997, the Shaanxi-Beijing pipeline. After 2000, the Chinese government began to implement the West-East Gas Pipeline, with a total length of about 4,000 kilometers and a design scale of 12 billion cubic meters per year.
This super project has benefited more than 200 million people and ushered in the era when China began to use natural gas on a large scale.
